The Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire Group is a mix of professionals and interested amateurs, some of whom joined the SPAB when they became owners of old houses, large and small. This means that a wide range of backgrounds is represented and we are pleased to see younger members participating. All share the common thread of wanting to support the work of raising awareness of our building heritage within a wider audience while extending their own knowledge and skills.

We have arranged visits to listed properties of interest in our area and have organised walks around towns accompanied by experts with knowledge of the local building heritage. We try and include a social element in the visits, such as lunch or teas, so that we can share our interests and different aspects on the day.
